James "Drew" Beauchamp is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Neuroscience Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. His lab develops and applies neurotechnology to study the central nervous system from its output layer, using spinal motoneurons to estimate upstream signaling within spinal, cortical, and subcortical structures. The group asks how people control movement, what changes in neural pathology and injury, and whether function can be restored using neurotechnology.
